Thunderbolt

Out of the blue it struck

Electrified a heart so cold

There was nothing left but longing

A desire too brash, too bold

Never knew I could feel

Something like this again

Elation, anxiety, longing, despair,

The joy and the pain

This raven-haired beauty

Left me dumbstruck

Her charm offensive

And suddenly I am in luck

I know not what to do

These emotions don’t seem mine

Feel like a whole new man

And somehow, it does feel fine

I wish to possess you, make you mine

But vulgar is the thought

To the delicate senses that suddenly

Seemed to have sprung about

And now I know how Michael felt

When he gazed upon sweet Appolonia

But I am no Godfather or his son

I am struck by the Thunderbolt and I am a goner

Radio Silence

Not a pip, not a pop

Neither a smiley nor a status drop

I know you view what I write

But you choose to ignore my plight

Somehow I know I upset you

Ignoring you for someone else

Being petty ’cause I was hurt

For you were callous

But maybe, as usual, I overthink

The Lunar Lion with his kink

Thinks he is the center of the universe

When all you must be doing is converse

With a loved one or maybe just rest

While I go crazy as is my wont

Maybe it’s just for the best

I think I should go get stoned

I keep telling myself that I shall

Get rid of this obsession and sorrow

But try as I might, I fail

‘Cause I shall see you tomorrow
